If you're in the market for a new friend -- be it a dog, cat or rabbit -- you're in luck this Valentine's Day weekend. The six L.A. city shelters are holding a special adoption event on Saturday and Sunday with reduced adoption fees ($43 for a dog, $28 for a cat and $25 for a rabbit; and if you adopt two cats, the second is free).

This little pup is just one of the many wonderful pets available -- her name is Minnie (ID# A1009927) and she's a spayed female Beagle mix who's about a year old. Meet her in person at the East Valley shelter, 14409 Vanowen St., Van Nuys, or call (888) 4LAPET1 with her ID number for more information on how to adopt her.
